American sustainable plant-based protein brand Loma Linda is launching its innovative vegan seafood alternative, Tuno, into the UK at Natural & Organic Products Europe in April.
Cited as the first product of its kind to launch in the UK, gluten-free Tuno is made with soya protein and is said to have the light flaky texture of tinned tuna.
Available in tins and on-the-go pouches, Tuno comes in a range of flavours including Spring Water, Lemon Pepper, Sweet Chilli, Mayo and Sesame Ginger.
Brand owner Atlantic Natural Foods and distributor Worldwide Food Associates will also showcase Loma Linda’s range of ambient plant-based ready meals inspired by six global recipes: Spicy Pad Thai, Thai Green Curry, Thai Red Curry, Tikka Masala, Chipotle Bowl and Hearty Stew.
“We have seen a massive growth in demand for vegan and natural food products, making NPE the perfect event to officially launch the Loma Linda range of products to the UK market,” explains Eric Woods, MD of Worldwide Food Associates. “Today’s consumers are not only aware of the benefits of a plant-based diet, but are also embracing them as part of a balanced lifestyle.
“We are committed to delivering health and sustainable foods to future generations, and the launch of Tuno and the range of Loma Linda ready meals will transform the plant-based food category currently available to consumers. We can’t wait to see what the reaction will be to the launch of these new products.”
Atlantic Natural Foods will also be exhibiting the NEAT range of innovative vegan baking including a meat replacement recipe, baking mixes and the Neat Egg substitute.
